PURPOSE

Treatment Alternatives for Safer Communities (TASC) is the designated Community Corrections Program for Jefferson County, by resolution adopted by the Jefferson County Commission, September 6, 1994. It is the mission of TASC to bring innovation and services to the criminal justice system through applied research and evidence-based practices. TASC also advocates for public policies which support community based alternatives to incarceration and treatment as critical components of the criminal justice system. Through TASC, community-based alternatives are made available to offenders who would otherwise burden the criminal justice system with their persistent criminal behavior or occupy space in overcrowded jails and prisons.

Judge Alan Summers

2015 Evaluation In 2015, FDC was evaluated

of children reunited with parents, and saves money for

the state.
